Keeper Security has officially launched an updated version of its WearOS app for Android, designed to provide a more secure and user-friendly experience for smartwatch users. This enhancement comes as part of Keeper’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, particularly in the realm of password management.
Enhanced Features and Functionality
The newly revamped app, previously known as KeeperDNA, has been rebranded to reflect a cohesive access experience across various platforms. This update introduces a host of features aimed at simplifying the user experience while maintaining robust security protocols. Users can now securely view their stored credentials and utilize their smartwatches for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) with greater ease.
Key features of the updated Keeper WearOS app include:
- Redesigned Interface: A modern user interface enhances usability and navigation, featuring a rotating carousel on the vault page that presents dynamic content and essential security insights at a glance.
- Instant Access to Credentials and 2FA Codes: Users can effortlessly view and retrieve passwords and authentication codes with a simple tap.
- Watch Favorites: This feature allows users to quickly access their most frequently used logins without needing to reach for their phones.
In addition to these features, Keeper has improved the offline functionality of its Android app, allowing users to access their Keeper data securely even without an internet connection. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for mobile users who need to manage sensitive information on the go.
Offline Functionality Improvements
The release also introduces several enhancements to the offline mode of the Keeper Android app:
- Simplified Account Setup: A streamlined onboarding process enables users to create an account and import passwords in just a few steps.
- Enhanced Offline Mode: Users can now configure vault access for durations of one, seven, or 30 days, providing greater flexibility for travel and remote work. Enterprise users will receive explicit alerts if offline access is restricted based on company policies.
- Decoupled Offline Mode and 2FA: This feature allows users to manage offline access and 2FA settings independently, offering more control over their security preferences.
According to Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security, “Security should never be a hassle.” He emphasized that the updated WearOS app maintains the robust protection users expect while enhancing the overall experience. The goal is to make it easier for users to securely access their credentials directly from their wrist.
The updated Keeper WearOS app is now available for download on the Google Play Store. Users can take control of their credentials with the assurance of Keeper’s zero-knowledge encryption and adherence to industry-leading security standards.
